ORIGAMI Origami is when you fold paper and it makes a bunch of shapes and animals out of paper.

• Origami is a world-renowned art form that can be traced to about 500 A.D.
• Though origami comes from Japan, the original concept of paper folding is derived from China. Since paper was first invented there, the Chinese have folded the material for a variety of reasons. The art was brought to Japan by Buddhist monks, where it was finally refined as an art form. Today, Japan is still credited as the birthplace of the origami craft, but origami is still extremely popular in China and other parts of Asia.
• Most people think that origami is about the creation of small things, but try telling that to Wings for Peace. The organization made the world's largest crane in 1999. It stood 215 feet tall and weighed 1,750 pounds. The crane was so big that it had to be made inside of a football stadium. Contrary to popular belief, the crane is made from 100 percent paper.
